Yeah, PTSD affects everybody around you.
I lost my wife.
I'm not gonna say I really lost her.
She didn't understand anything about PTSD.
And when I tried to explain it to her and she was like, "Oh,
there's nothing wrong with you.
Your family, they think something is wrong with you."
And my family is, "Oh, there's something wrong with him.
You just haven't figured it out."
When I tried to tell her and I tried to talk it to her,
it just, it didn't work.
And then, came the arguments and all that,
and then one day my parents just said, "Hey, come on, let's go."
So my parents came, got me and I told my mom,
I said, "I can't do this."
She said, "Well son, you always got a place at our house."
And that's where I went and that went on for like 10 years.
I stayed separated from her for 10 years
and then I said, "Hey, it's not..."
I tried two or three times to go back and tried to straighten it
out and it didn't work.
But probably if I'd have went to PTSD and anger management
at that time, I probably could have saved my marriage.
I think so.
And by that time that I did do it, it was too late.
So I just had to write that one off.
